What's the story
With explosive dialogues and action-packed sequences, the Singham cop film series is undoubtedly one of the most loved franchises of all time.

Now, the latest reports suggest that the makers are eyeing Diwali 2024 release date.
Context
Why does this story matter?
The cop drama Singham was released back in 2011, followed by its sequel Singham Returns in 2014, which ultimately marked the beginning of Shetty's Cop Universe and later included Simmba (2018) and Sooryavanshi (2021).
Interestingly, all films in this universe have been box office successes, including Akshay Kumar-led Sooryavanshi, which broke several records despite a slump in box office collections in the post-pandemic era.
Release date of the film
Makers reportedly locked release date, shooting schedule
The highly-anticipated third installment in the Singham franchise has not yet gone on floors, but the makers have locked Diwali 2024 as the date for Singham Again's release, reported Bollywood Hungama.
Reportedly, the shooting schedule will kick off in July 2023.
To recall, reports of Singham 3 have been surfacing online since 2021, and Shetty officially confirmed the making of the film last year.
